I am so tried of looking at boxes, boxes, and more boxes! I have hit a point where I do not care if we need it/want it or not. Can I just pitch it all and start over? Last night I actually dreamed about pitching most of what we have and simply starting over. IN some ways that is what we are doing in way, even if it is metaphorical. The dream lead my thoughts down the path of the “what ifs”. What if I really did get rid of most of our stuff and make a plan to start over. Almost everything we have is either particle board and falling apart or is a hand-me-down. Now do not twist my words or misinterpret them. I do not mind second hand, but I really would like to choose. If I can not have exactly what I would want in my home then I would love to be able to choose at least the style or the color or some aspect of what we bring into our home. Very little in my home speaks to anything about me or us as a family.
The problem with starting over is the money to start over, especially enough to supply a family of eight. Simply because my mind is wrapped up in it right now and I can not seem to chase it away I am going to dream a bit right now. Indulge me. Maybe when I go to the thrift store this weekend I will buy a pair of pants that has a winning lottery ticket in it. I still live in Louisiana after all. HA!
